Purpose: The study aimed to explore speech-language pathologists' practices regarding image selection and use in the treatment of people living with aphasia. Images are widely utilised with people living with aphasia, however, supporting their communication optimally remains challenging.
Method: Ninety-two speech-language pathologists from South Africa, Australia, USA, and the UK completed a custom-designed online survey.
Background: The impact and/or significance of gasping or apnea on cardio-respiratory status at birth remains unclear.
Objectives: The study objectives were to determine in infants presenting with gasping or apnea in the delivery room, initial heart rate (HR), responses to positive pressure ventilation (PPV), time to onset of spontaneous respirations, and the relationship of these responses to 24-hour outcome (death/survival) METHODS: Observation study undertaken in a rural setting involving late preterm and term newborns who gasped (n=126) or were apneic (n=105) at birth and received PPV had HR and respiratory parameters continuously measured and were video recorded.
Results: Apneic (12.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the quality of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered by therapists to patients with depression and anxiety in routine psychiatric care, focusing on adherence, competence, and therapy effectiveness.
- - A total of 85 patients and 29 therapists were involved, with therapist adherence rated differently by patients, therapists, and observers, while most therapists demonstrated competence in CBT according to a standardized assessment.
- - Despite high therapist adherence and competence, there was no association found between these factors and patient outcomes, indicating that CBT delivered in routine settings was effective, similar to results in controlled studies.
BACKGROUND Giant coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are extremely rare and can mimic cardiac tumors. Therefore, an unidentified mass in the heart requires a multimodality imaging approach for accurate diagnosis and guidance of further management, which for CAAs often include surgical intervention to prevent complications such as thrombosis or rupture. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old man presented with non-specific symptoms.

- * In a study with 679 women with prior preeclampsia and 672 controls, the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy was found to be significantly higher (14.0% vs. 6.4%) in those who had preeclampsia.
- * Chronic hypertension partially contributes to this increased risk, with findings showing that it explained 22% of the association, but preeclampsia independently remains a significant factor for future heart
